Continuing Stephen Gaukroger’s helpful list of necessary considerations for those who want to sustain a long-term preaching ministry in the same setting where they are the main or only speaker: 5. Know thyself – It is important to know your own strengths and weaknesses. If you’re invited to a big event, then let your prejudices hang out, that’s probably why they invited you. But in your own church be committed to long-term exposition. Letting prejudices hang out too much will eventually annoy and cause problems. 6.

Earlier this month, we spray painted all over the Wall the alarming tale of yet another megachurch pastor who can’t get enough of his private jet. In fact, Ed Young enjoys the jet so much, he takes it to locals so novel for “evangelism” that he requires two floaties, suntan lotion and a rubber ducky.

We looked at some of the coverage of the Comedy Central’s censorship of the South Park program . South Park has long shown offensive images of Jesus and other non-Muslim religious figures. It has also attempted to show inoffensive “images of Muhammad” but been censored by the network — and other media covering the issue — out of fears of violence.

Q: A specialist recommended my wife get a CT scan and suggested she use a lab in which, we later discovered, he has an interest. She wasn’t required to use that lab, and there was no reason to question its quality or his calling for a scan.

Here is a sticky question: What is a reporter supposed to do when writing a story about a religious group that does not see itself as a denomination and strives not to use traditional (remember that word) language to describe itself and much of its work? Do you use the traditional terms and explain that the group being covered does not use them or do you use the group’s unique terms, knowing that you’ll need to translate them for readers? We are talking about the Church of Christ, specifically the movement that is best known for the fact that its churches do not use musical instruments in worship.
